HMRC identified a CDS error early this morning (27th February) that has resulted in a number of declarations being unnecessarily flagged for documentary checks.
Pre-lodged declarations submitted between 08.55 and 09.46 on 27th February may be affected.
HMRC advises that affected declarations be withdrawn and resubmitted.
HMRC are working through the resulting backlog but has confirmed that the error may result in processing delays. Withdrawing and resubmitting affected declarations will assist in reducing the backlog for the HMRC teams.
HMRC have confirmed that there will be no need to inform the National Clearance Hub unless further errors arise.
